Semantic transparency effects during compound word recognition provide critical insight into the organization of semantic knowledge and the nature of semantic processing. The past 25 years of psycholinguistic research on compound semantic transparency has produced discrepant effects, leaving the existence and nature of its influence unresolved. In the present study, we examined the influence of...

Solid-state sintering method was used to prepare ceramic materials based on bismuth ferrite, i.e., (BiFeO3)1 - x -(BaTiO3) x and Bi1 - x Nd x FeO3 solid solutions and the Aurivillius Bi5Ti3FeO15 compound. The structure of the materials was examined using X-ray diffraction, and the Rietveld method was applied to phase analysis and structure refinement. Magnetoelectric coupling was registered in ...

background: the 153sm-[tris(1,10-phenanthroline) samarium(iii)]complex (153sm-pl3) was prepared in view of development of targeting therapeutic compounds for malignancies, and interesting in-vitro anti-tumor activities of lanthanide phenanthroline complexes,. materials and methods: sm-153 chloride was obtained by thermal neutron flux (4 × 1013 n.cm-2.s-1) of enriched 152sm2o3 sample, dissolved ...

Hydrogen storage is still one of the most significant issues hindering the development of a "hydrogen energy economy". Ammonia borane is notable for its high hydrogen densities. For the material, one of the main challenges is to release efficiently the maximum amount of the stored hydrogen. Hydrolysis reaction is a promising process by which hydrogen can be easily generated from this compound. ...
